The Camping Trip That Changed America
President Theodore Roosevelt really loved the outdoors, as well as the naturalist John Muir, who wrote about his travels hiking the American wilderness. Teddy Roosevelt read his books, and John wanted to let the government know that the forests were vanishing in the hopes that something could be done. In 1903, the two men went camping together in Yosemite so Teddy Roosevelt could see for himself. They bonded over nature and this trip led to the origin of national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and national forests.
